Google Pixel 9 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S25+

Google Pixel 9 Pro

A genuine improvement over the Pixel 8 Pro, with most reviewers getting through a full day comfortably.

• Easily lasts a full day of heavy use, a marked improvement over the inconsistent battery life of the Pixel 8 Pro.
• Charging speed at 27W remains frustratingly slow compared to OnePlus and Samsung's faster options.

Samsung Galaxy S25+

The 4,900mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day for most users, with the Snapdragon 8 Elite's efficiency helping extend endurance. Charging speeds remain adequate but not class-leading.

• Battery easily lasts a full day with moderate to heavy use — a noticeable improvement over the S24+
• 45W wired charging gets you to 65% in 30 minutes, which is competitive but not the fastest
• 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging round out the charging options
